Next, weigh your package and get the actual weight. Whichever weight is larger will be the billable weight, and this calculation should provide you with an idea of the potential weight charges.

Parcel Select\u24c7 shipments do have tracking provided, making it easy to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/how-to-provide-package-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provide your customers with information<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as their package is in transit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Parcel Select\u24c7 does have its disadvantages.
